Suspension from work

If you are facing discipline over a serious issue, your employer may be able to suspend you during the time leading up to a disciplinary meeting.

Check your employment contract, company handbook or HR intranet site to see if you’re entitled to be paid when suspended.

Using the Acas Code of Practice

If either you and your employer don’t follow the Acas Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedures and you go to an employment tribunal, the result of your claim could be affected. In this situation a tribunal can adjust the amount of compensation awarded by up to 25%.
